[Dxbase] Internet Packet Disconnects

Thu Dec 28 15:54:06 EST 2017

I'm finding that after a while my Internet Packet windows is losing it's 
connection and I have to restart it. The Keep Alive timer is set for 15 
min. I've shortened that to 10 min, but I'm not convinced that's the 
problem I'm seeing. When this happens, I simply see lines of "Keep Alive 
Sent" (or something like that). If I check the connection with a SH/DX, 
nothing happens, so I know the connection is no longer active.  This has 
happened from time to time in the past, but it's getting more frequent 
and annoying. What else might I set on my end to keep the connection 
from being dropped or simply becoming what amounts to dormant? I've been 
using the W4NJA node, so I suppose it's also possible the problem is on 
that end,  someplace.
